Jonathan Colaço Carr

Bonjour/Hi!

I'm a PhD student in computer science at Harvard University, where I am advised by Prof. Milind Tambe. I'm supported by an FRQNT Doctoral Scholarship.

I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics and computer science at McGill University. During my master's degree, I was lucky to be advised by Prof. Prakash Panangaden and Prof. Doina Precup. Together we designed fast algorithms for decision making from human data, exploring topics in reinforcement learning and AI alignment. I left McGill during the 2024--2025 academic year, visiting the Center for Human-Compatible AI (UC Berkeley) and then Stanford University for research internships.

I am lucky to be a graduate student. I get to design algorithms that serve public interests, often with partner organizations. I've worked with the GovAI Coalition, a network of government officials in the United States, to design responsible AI standards, and with the Democratic Engagement Exchange, a non-partisan political group in Canada.

Please feel free to email me if there's anything you'd like to discuss.

Thanks,

Jonathan
